Russell Maughan's second attempt at a dawn to dusk transcontinental flight came to an end at Rock Springs, Wyoming due to an oil leak.
The leak had developed earlier in the flight, and had been twice repaired, but nausea from the oil finally resulted in his giving up the attempt.
The Frederic Remington Museum in Ogdensburg, New York opened.
Remington is so associated with the American West that it's easy to forget he was actually a New Yorker and while he was very widely traveled, he spent much of his working life in the East. He was only 48 years old when he died in 1909 due to complications from an appendectomy. His painting style had never stopped evolving. He was one of the greatest American artists of all time.
